| Description | Zinc is an essential microelement with pluripotent biological effects. Due to the fact that our body does not have a special depot that keeps zinc in sufficient quantities, it is subject to a large metabolic turnover, and therefore an adequate daily intake of it is necessary to develop and maintain all its biological effects. Zinc has an important place in dermatology, which results from the clinical practice of dermatologists and available professional information. Positive experiences with the administration of zinc in oral and topical form occur both in the case of dermatological infections and in inflammatory dermatoses such as acne vulgaris, also in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis and in hair and mucous membrane disorders such as alopecia. |
